Desire: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

The cloyed will (That satiate yet unsatisfied desire, That tub both fill'd and running) ravening first The lamb, longs after for the garbage.— Cym. i. 7.
Happy! but most miserable Is the desire that's glorious. Blessed be those, How mean soe'er, that have their honest wills Which seasons comfort. Cym. 1.7.
